Every Doctor has faced them (it's even implied that Paul McGann fought them in the Time War). It's best that newbie Matt Smith got it out of the way early otherwise children would be asking "when will he fight the Daleks?"<br />
<br />
This episode could best be called a new beginning for our favorite pepperpots. In typical indirect and obscure fashion, they try to perpetuate their race and destroy the universe, in that order. And for once, they even claim a victory over our favorite Time Lord. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/05/01/doctor-who-victory-of-the-daleks-recap/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Matt Smith is very quickly adjusting to his role as the Doctor and Amy Pond is proving herself to be a good match for him and every bit as capable, particularly given her role at the end of the episode.<br />

But the series and the Doctor got something a bit more in Amy, who shows sings of being a more of a challenge, more of an independent thinker than many of her predecessors. <br />
<br />
Amy and the Doctor meet when Amy is just a child, and then several years later, after she has mythologized him for years, and felt disappointment that he has been gone for so long. Immediately, they are on strange footing. When she leaves with the Doctor, we see the wedding dress she left behind. This week, we'll get to see a it more of Amy, as she and the Doctor take the TARDIS for its first spin. We'll also get to see "Starship U.K." and some new villains, the "Smilers." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/04/23/karen-gillan-faces-the-challenge-of-doctor-who/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Paul McGann wound up with the role instead. Scottish paper the Daily Record reported that a 'Doctor Who' historian named Alex Westthorp learned that the BBC had him on a "short list" after seeing him opposite Dame Judi Dench in 'Mrs. Brown.' <br />
<br />
Apparently, no one at the BBC told Connolly. When TV Squad spoke with The Big Yin Tuesday, he said he had only heard that morning about the possibility he'd be tapped for the role. "That never reached as far as me," he said. "As a matter of fact, my manager told me that this morning. He read it in the newspaper and was amazed. It didn't get as far as him. These were just discussions at BBC I think." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/04/21/billy-connolly-as-doctor-who/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

For those unaware, the spin-off follows the adventures of former 'Doctor Who' companion Sarah Jane Smith as played by Elisabeth Sladen.<br />
<br />
Also joining them in the same episode is former 'Doctor Who' companion Jo Grant. She'll be played by Katy Manning, who is stepping into the role for the first time since 1973. <br />
<br />
And to round out the news trifecta, the episode will be written by the creator of 'The Sarah Jane Adventures' and the man responsible for bringing 'Doctor Who' back to television, Russell T. Davies. This would mark Davies' first time writing for the character of the Doctor since he left the series (and it could be argued that it's his first time writing for Smith's Doctor).<br />
<br />
Mind you, Davies writing was never particularly impressive on the series in terms of science fiction. Davies' strength tends to be writing about relationships, and having the Doctor in a room with two of his ex-companions (which for the Doctor would be the equivalent of ex-girlfriends) is enough reason to tune in.</p> <br/><br/>]]>

<br />
Eleventh Hour. Eleventh Doctor. Ha ha. We get it.<br />
<br />
Matt Smith comes out of the gate running. Literally. In his new regeneration, the Doctor doesn't even get time to catch his breath since he's dealing with his new companion Amy Pond as well as yet another alien that wants to destroy the Earth.<br />
<br />
This was one of the best introductions to the Doctor ever and a strong start for the newest version of the program. I liked how Steven Moffat didn't use the old trope of post-regenerative trauma (which was used in the last regeneration to David Tennant) and simply presented Matt Smith's Doctor as a bit of a scatterbrain. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/04/17/doctor-who-the-eleventh-hour-recap-season-premiere/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

It's the beginning of a new era. Matt Smith steps into the Doctor's shoes, Karen Gillan is the new companion, Amy Pond, and Steven Moffat ('Coupling,' 'Jekyll') takes over as lead writer and executive producer. David Tenant will be a particularly hard Doctor to replace, but Smith hits the ground running, almost literally, arriving on Earth with a malfunctioning Tardis with only 20 minutes to save the planet from obliteration. <br />
<br />
Smith, 27, is the youngest actor to take on the Doctor so far, although he points out no actor could ever really get close to the character's age (he's roughly 900 years old). He has been attending screenings in New York and Los Angeles this week, meeting and greeting fans, and trying to swim through an ocean of interviews and press coverage. I caught up with him by phone Thursday shortly after he touched down in L.A. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/04/16/new-doctor-who-matt-smith-looks-forward-to-a-new-era/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

<br />
Saturday brings the new season of the show on the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw">BBC in England</a> (either the fifth season or the 31st season depending on who you ask) with a new Doctor in the form of Matt Smith, a new companion in the form of Karen Gillan and a new showrunner in the form of Steven Moffat. For those that reside in the United States, there is a two week delay before the season premiere on <a href="http://www.bbcamerica.com/shows/doctor-who/index.jsp?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_term=doctor_who&amp;utm_content=text&amp;utm_campaign=doctor_who_premiere_2010">BBC America</a> on April 17th.<br />
<br />
If you have never watched the show before, then the introduction of a new Doctor is an excellent place to start. Usually you find that the Doctor you start with becomes "your" Doctor. It's a wonderful cult that is far more interesting than Scientology, so please join. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/04/02/its-time-for-the-new-doctor-who/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Here's a look at the new Doctor (Matt Smith) in action. The new season starts Saturday, April 17 on BBC America. You probably can't tell a lot from just a trailer, but what do you think?

     <title>Neil Gaiman has written a 'Doctor Who' episode</title>

Gaiman has already written for television (including an episode of <a href="http://www.slashcontrol.com/free-tv-shows/babylon-5">'Babylon 5'</a> and his British TV series <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwhere">'Neverwhere'</a>) but this represents the first time he has written for a program that he actually watched as a child. If you listen carefully, you can hear all the nerd brains around the world exploding.<br />
<br />
Gaiman himself announced this at a British sci-fi convention this past weekend and shocked everyone with this bombshell during an award acceptance speech. However, the folks behind our favorite Time Lord would not confirm Gaiman's statement. Hopefully he didn't jump the gun with this announcement. It would be a shame if he had to renege on it later.<br />
<br />
The episode might be called 'The House of Nothing' (the announcement is nothing if not vague) and supposedly will air sometime in 2011, during the next season. Neil Gaiman, meet Matt Smith. <br/><br/>]]>

<br />
The clip takes us from "new teeth, that's weird" all the way up to the Master's death, with a good number of clips from the specials in between. And of course, Daleks and Cybermen. There are some nice reminders of how good Tennant was at playing both drama and comedy on the show, including his back and fourth with Sky Silvestry ("Shamble bobble dibble dooble") from 'Midnight' from series four and his exchange with a would-be companion from 'Planet of the Dead' ("People have traveled with me and I've lost them, lost them all"). <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/02/02/bbc-america-best-of-david-tennant-video/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

<br />
According to a BBC America news release, the CG-animated adventure will arrive in U.S. stores on May 4 for $24.98. Voiced by Tennant, The Doctor visits Dry Springs, Nev. in 1958 in an environment deliberately reminiscent of Roswell and the would-be New Mexico UFO crash.<br />
<br />
In the one-off episode, The Doctor befriends a young waitress, Cassie, and her friend, Jimmy. When the Doctor examines an extraterrestrial artifact, he draws the attention of a mysterious man in black, an alien warrior and Colonel Stark, commander of "Dreamland" (the military base also known as Area 51). <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/01/28/doctor-who-dreamland-coming-to-dvd-this-may/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Fox has picked up the rights <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3id183d5e80b48e57c2e6102a3f94da557">to produce an American version</a> of the BBC sci-fi spin-off of <em>Doctor Who</em>, <em>Torchwood</em>.<br />
<br />
Series creator Russell T. Davies is writing the pilot (and several other former executives of the original are behind the show), so there will likely be many similarities and possibly even nods to <em>Doctor Who</em> continuity. Critics who haven't seen the original will likely pigeonhole the show as <em>The X-Files</em> with more ostentatious sci-fi elements.<br />
<br />
The question is, how will the show be handled? Will it be a complete reboot? Will it be an American branch of the institution? Most importantly, will John Barrowman star as Captain Jack Harkness (hey, he's already got the American accent)?<br />

In this video, fans get to see a bit more of <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/01/04/the-doctor-says-farewell/" target="_blank">departing Doctor David Tennant </a>walking around the studios where <em>Doctor Who</em> has been filmed over the years and talking about the show.<br />
<br />
Moffat, who takes over for previous lead writer and producer <a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/01/07/give-thanks-that-davies-doctor-who-finally-regenerated/">Russell T. Davies</a>, remembers his father calling him excitedly to the television, saying <em>Doctor Who</em> was on. It wasn't the show's regular night, but Moffat rushed to the television anyway, only to find it was the kids show <em>Blue Peter,</em> which often promoted and previewed episodes of <em>Doctor Who</em>, and burst into tears. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/01/15/doctor-who-in-good-hands-with-moffat/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

The end results of that year of specials are headed your way on DVD in a five disc set.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Complete-Specials-Planet/dp/B002ZHKZEM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=dvd&amp;qid=1263421799&amp;sr=8-1"><em>Doctor Who: The Complete Specials</em></a> features what proved to be a mixed bag of special episodes that became a sort of de facto fifth mini-season for Tennant. While you're not going to find a bad piece of television anywhere on this disc (or anywhere in <em>Doctor Who</em>'s 21st century rebirth), last year's programs got weaker as they marched toward Tennant's regeneration.<br />
<br />
The line-up includes <em>The Next Doctor</em>, <em>Planet of the Dead</em>, <em>The Waters of Mars</em> and <em>The End of Time</em>, Parts One and Two. The first two stand alone, but the last three create a sort of trilogy documenting the 10th Doctor's final days. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/01/13/david-tennants-doctor-who-swan-song-comes-to-dvd/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

Davies era of <em>Doctor Who</em>. And, after watching and digesting the final episodes of the David Tennant era, Davies couldn't move on fast enough for me.<br />
<br />
The two-part story, "<a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/01/02/review-doctor-who-the-end-of-time-part-2/">The End of Time</a>," was watched by 10 million in the UK -- flirting with a 50 ratings share. So, it's an undeniable success. It was also an undeniable mess of a story that proved unworthy of Tennant's swan song.<br />
<br />
Davies forever deserves credit for taking the street credit his successful work on series like <em>Queer as Folk</em> gave him and investing it in one shot from the BBC to bring back the network's crown jewel, <em>Doctor Who</em>. And he deserves credit for increasing the nerdy guy-friendly show's popularity with women by introducing "Buffy-ized" romance and humor.<br />
<br />
But, the hard truth is Davies isn't a gifted sci-fi genre writer. And it showed in "The End of Time." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/01/07/give-thanks-that-davies-doctor-who-finally-regenerated/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

<br />
On a personal note, this was the end of an era for me, because it was Tennant who pulled me back into Doctor Who a couple of seasons ago. I had heard the new series was great, but didn't manage to catch Christopher Eccleston's incarnation. I have since gone back and watched his series, but I may not have had Tennant not been such a fantastic fit for the role (Brad also explained this in out <a target="_blank" href="http://www.aoltv.com/2009/12/30/best-tv-of-the-00s-dramatic-actor/">Best TV of the '00s feature</a>). <br/><br/><a href="http://www.aoltv.com/2010/01/04/the-doctor-says-farewell/">Continue Reading</a>]]>

I cried my eyes out.<br />
<br />
It's very difficult to write about this episode without using any kind of spoiler. Excellent performances all around with a little more credit going to David Tennant for his final bow. They also broke out the remainder of the special effects budget for this one, probably spending more on this episode alone that an entire season of William Hartnell's era. There were also surprises galore along with some familiar faces at the end. Anybody that accuses me of spoiling the fact that this is Tennant's final episode has not been reading this site for the past six months.<br />
